With so many practical alternative fuel options on the market, the stage is set for the 2014 Alternative Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo, North America’s largest clean fleet expo. Taking place May 5-8 at the Long Beach Convention Center in Southern California, the conference will showcase the latest advanced technology solutions for all weight classes and alternative fuels, including electric, hybrid, hydrogen, natural gas, propane autogas, and renewables.
The 2014 ACT Expo program was crafted with input from high-volume fleets, including Frito-Lay, the City of Los Angeles, GE Capital, Penske, UPS, Coca-Cola, Ryder System, and many others, as well as a U.S. Dept. of Energy Clean Cities committee and alternative fuel industry associations. Here are a few highlights of the four-day event:
- Fleet-focused agenda. Leading public and private fleets will share how their companies reduced fuel costs and emissions through clean transportation initiatives, as well as provide insight on the total cost of AFV ownership. Breakout sessions will highlight the wide range of options for fueling, engines, efficiency improvements, and much more.
- Our biggest expo hall ever. Transportation industry leaders will take over the Long Beach Convention Center, solidifying ACT Expo 2014 as the largest clean transportation event in North America’s history. With more than 175 sponsors and exhibitors, the expo hall will showcase AFVs and engines for all weight classes; EVs, HEVs and PHEVs, LNG, CNG, and LPG engine conversion companies; vehicle charging and refueling technology; and equipment and station providers.
- Hands-on ride & drive. Attendees will be able to test-drive dozens of AFVs for all applications. Representatives will be on hand to discuss vehicle specs, helping fleet managers avoid trips to multiple OEM dealerships or technology/fuel specific shows.
- Educational technical tours. Southern California is home to many of the largest and most successful AFV and clean infrastructure projects in the world. Attendees can participate in guided off-site technical tours to receive real-time demonstrations and experience fully functioning facilities that utilize alternative fuels every day.
- Co-located industry events. ACT Expo will be co-located with several industry events, including the NGV Global 2014 conference and exhibition, the Propane Education and Research Council Summit, the California Hydrogen Business Council Spring Summit, and a Trucking Efficiency workshop organized by the North American Council for Freight Efficiency and Carbon War Room.
